Haggis tastes just like faggots with a few extra spice-related knobs on, it’s not that exotic imo.

A fancy market stall where I previousy lived did a haggis/black pudding hybrid, which was the best of both worlds.

MeinPanzer posted:As a foreigner I find Irn Bru to be OK--it's certainly not to my tastes, but also not actively offensive--but it is remarkable how much Scots genuinely love it. Haggis tastes good though. I think part of it is just it tastes likes home. Part of it is undoubtedly they've always had effective ad campaigns, like Irn Bru, Made From Girders. Until relatively recently it was hard to find even in England, never mind the rest of the world, so if you were drinking Irn Bru you were probably in Scotland

The best soft drink is Mexican coke in a glass bottle, no question. Most soft drinks I had when I've been in the US have tasted like chemicals and sugar (even more so than usual), other euro countries are hit and miss with their drinks. Best UK soft drink is a tough one but I'll tell you what it isn't and that's dandelion and burdock, I mean what the gently caress.

Was a very good day. Well I say that but we had a few beers after so the end of it is a bit hazy.

Faggots are fat sausages while Haggis comes out looking like exotic corned beef. On that note. McBrains faggots suck so much. I had some faggots from a proper butcher and the difference was night and day. Cost about the same too!

Kind of surprising article from a Telegraph head-banger, where she 1) Admits that the handling of Brexit has been disastrous and 2) That there are deep-seated problems in the country that Brexit has done nothing to put right: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02/13/brexit-finally-dead-tory-party-will-soon-suffer-fate/ quote:
She thinks that, for the country to move forwards and move on from Brexit, the Tory Party has to go... permanently; which is an interesting take to see in the Torygraph.

Mourning Due posted:Pants -> trousers has to be in contention for top 10 By now I've adopted a lot of Britishisms, but I still regularly say "pants" to refer to trousers and don't catch myself for a couple of beats afterwards. The conversation with British people related to this is always the same: - So what do you call what we call "pants" then? - "Underwear," normally. - But underwear can mean anything you wear under your clothes! - No, we would say "undergarments" or something like that to refer to all items you wear under your clothes. - So what are "panties" then? - Female underwear. Etc. etc.

The Barclays have for many years had a vested interest in supporting the Tories no matter what, but one of them is now dead and the other is pushing 90 and spending most of his time fighting legal battles to avoid paying a nine figure divorce settlement. There's no strong grip at the helm.

I've almost always stuck with water. I can start arguments by saying that Pepsi/Coke/whatever off brand, mostly tastes the same.

In my experience Irn Bru is really two drinks, because it's remarkable how much the taste changes based on temperature. If you drink it at room temperature (e.g. from a bottle someone is keeping on a counter), it's basically tutti fruitti flavour, that sort of general non-specific "fruit" flavour. But if you drink it ice cold, those fruit flavours get suppressed and instead a much harsher gingery flavour is prominent instead. I like both, personally, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's people out there who've tried it once and disliked it that might have liked it more had they experienced the flavour profile from the other temperature.

All this GPC files thing is going to accomplish is that if labour get in they'll institute some super harsh spending limits on civil servants to that point that people won't be able to do their jobs. Alternatively they'll do nothing and get hit with the exact same headlines 3 years later but it'll actually work this time because "labour spent all the poonds again"

When I was working in IT procurement for the local council Q4 was when everyone spent up the current year's budget so they wouldn't have to give any back.
